A method of post-processing to enhance the image resolution of the distribution of free radical molecules obtained with continuous-wave electron paramagnetic resonance (CW-EPR) imaging is reported. The low spatial resolution of EPR imaging, which has created difficulties in biomedical applications, was overcome by the method of resolution-recovery for EPR imaging. High spatial resolution images for the distribution of free radical molecules with a very short relaxation time were obtained with this method. The method's two-step postprocessing consists of conventional deconvolution and filtered back-projection and a process of iterative deconvolution. The resolution-recovery method was demonstrated with three-dimensional (3D) imaging of stable nitroxyl radicals in mouse head. In phantom experiments with a solution of triarylmethyl (TAM) radicals, the spatial resolution was improved by a factor of 7 with the resolution-recovery method.
